Cranberry Thanksgiving brought found memories of the sweet friend who had recommended that book to me as a young mom.

We sat for a long time - my big kids and me - and just read those books together. Once again we created a memory.

I am so glad I invested in these books so we can pull them out now to relive the memories. We always had a library for each season - when the fall decorations came out my kids knew the orange tub held all of the fall themed books.

So, here's my list of favorite fall picture books - I hope you can enjoy a few with your little ones!

Over the years we have adopted the philosophy of "less is more" - as I look back I can see this was wise. A few things done well - a few books read year after year - it all adds up to childhood time well spent.

Picture Books About Pumpkins & Apples

We recently went to North Georgia to pick apples. My 15 year old has such good memories from our row of How to Make An Apple Pie and See the World - we picked apples and have been making pies, cakes, applesauce, and more.

A book can hold oh so many memories. (And yes, we read that book when we got home!)
